I beg to differ. The clicking of the Chevrolet brakes is a well-known problem, and, as I wrote earlier, you have to do a hokey tweek to silence them. Even with the ears pinched down correctly as I had done, the pads shift from pin to pin as you rotate the wheel back and forth.

Most people probably wouldn't even notice it, but certain noises make my skin crawl. It was either get a louder engine or swap the Camaro calipers out.

I've looked at them a great deal, on and off the car. Tighter tolerances would have corrected the problem.
